14 * Ruby on Rails 2.3.11 (official downloadable Redmine releases are packaged with
15 the appropriate Rails version)
24 * MySQL (tested with MySQL 5.1)
25 * PostgreSQL (tested with PostgreSQL 8.4)
26 * SQLite3 (tested with SQLite 3.6)
29 * SCM binaries (e.g. svn), for repository browsing (must be available in PATH)
30 * RMagick (to enable Gantt export to png images)
31 * Ruby OpenID Library >= version 2 (to enable OpenID support)
35 1. Uncompress the program archive
37 2. Create an empty database: "redmine" for example
39 3. Configure the database parameters in config/database.yml
40 for the "production" environment (default database is MySQL)
42 4. Generate a session store secret
44 Redmine stores session data in cookies by default, which requires
45 a secret to be generated. Under the application main directory run:
46 rake generate_session_store
48 5. Create the database structure
50 Under the application main directory run:
51 rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"
53 It will create all the tables and an administrator account.
55 6. Setting up permissions (Windows users have to skip this section)
57 The user who runs Redmine must have write permission on the following
58 subdirectories: files, log, tmp & public/plugin_assets (create the last
59 two if they are not yet present).
61 Assuming you run Redmine with a user named "redmine":
62 mkdir tmp public/plugin_assets
63 sudo chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp public/plugin_assets
64 sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets
66 7. Test the installation by running the WEBrick web server
68 Under the main application directory run:
69 ruby script/server -e production
71 Once WEBrick has started, point your browser to http://localhost:3000/
72 You should now see the application welcome page.
74 8. Use the default administrator account to log in:
78 Go to "Administration" to load the default configuration data (roles,
79 trackers, statuses, workflow) and to adjust the application settings
81 == SMTP server Configuration
83 Copy config/configuration.yml.example to config/configuration.yml and
84 edit this file to adjust your SMTP settings.
85 Do not forget to restart the application after any change to this file.
87 Please do not enter your SMTP settings in environment.rb.
